"Endogenous repo cycles" (with Vyacheslav Arbuzov, Yu Awaya, and Hiroki Fukai), June 2019
要旨
This paper presents a simple and tractable equilibrium model of repos, where col-lateralized credit emerges under limited commitment. We show that even if there is no time variation in fundamentals, repo markets can fluctuate endogenously over time. In our theory, repo market fragilities are associated with endogenous fluctuations in trade probabilities, collateral values, and debt limits. We show that the collateral premium of a durable asset will become the lowest right before a recession and the highest right after the recession and that secured credit is acyclical.

“Risk Aversion, Longevity, and Fertility in an Overlapping Generations Model”
要旨
This study analyzes how population aging affects an economy through the behavior of the young and the old’ financial assets selecting. We construct an overlapping generations model where an economy grows by capital and production goods created by individual activities. Outcomes of this activities are stochastically determined. Moreover, old individuals are supposed to be more risk averse than young individuals. We show that how capital accumulated in an economy with population aging depends on the degree of risk averse of old individuals. Both increasing longevity and decreasing fertility do not promote capital accumulation in an economy where old individuals are much more risk averse. Moreover, populating aging decreases output of final goods in such an economy.

“Causal Random Forests Model using Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression”
要旨
We propose an econometric procedure based mainly on the generalized random forests method of Athey, Tibshirani and Wager (2019, The Annals of Statistics). Not only does this process estimate the conditional quantile treatment effect nonparametrically, but our procedure yields a measure of variable importance in terms of heterogeneity among control variables. We also apply the proposed procedure to reinvestigate the distributional effect of 401(k) participation on net financial assets, and the quantile earnings effect of participating in a job training program.

“Fragile Self-Esteem” (joint with Koszegi and George Loewenstein)
要旨
We develop a model in which a person’s self-esteem is determined by sampling from her store of ego-relevant memories in a fashion that in turn depends on her self-esteem. This feedback mechanism can create multiple “self-esteem personal equilibria,” making self-esteem fragile ? subject to swings that are out of proportion to the objective evidentiary value of new information. Self-esteem is especially likely to be fragile, as well as unrealistic in either the positive or the negative direction, if self-esteem is an important ingredient of overall utility. We show that fragile self-esteem has diverse consequences, such as producing a negative relationship between effort and incentives, and various forms of information-avoidance, with consequences for domains such as education and job search.

“Helicopter Drops of Money under Secular Stagnation”
要旨
What are the effects of helicopter drops of money under secular stagnation? This paper shows that, if the government cannot sustain a Ponzi debt scheme under full employment, then helicopter drops of money cannot transfer real wealth to households under secular stagnation. In that case, despite being in a permanent liquidity trap, a one-off helicopter drop triggers an upward jump in the price level, without any real effect on the economy. Conversely, if a Ponzi scheme can be sustained, then the helicopter drop can stimulate aggregate demand by raising household wealth. If the stagnation real interest rate is larger than the economic growth rate, the economy converges to full employment and a sustainable Ponzi scheme and, otherwise, it gradually reverts back to stagnation. Finally, continuous helicopter drops of money under stagnation must induce the economy to reach a full employment steady state, with or without a Ponzi scheme.

“Credible Forward Guidance”(joint with Taisuke Nakata)
要旨
We analyze credible forward guidance policies in a sticky-price model with an effective lower bound (ELB) constraint on nominal interest rates by solving a series of optimal sustainable policy problems indexed by the duration of reputational loss. Lower-for-longer policies? while effective in stimulating the economy at the ELB?are potentially time-inconsistent, as the associated overheating of the economy in the aftermath of a crisis is undesirable ex-post. However, if reneging on a lower-for-longer promise leads to a loss of reputation and prevents the central bank from effectively using lower-for-longer policies in future crises, these policies can be time-consistent. We find that, even without an explicit commitment technology, the central bank can still credibly keep the policy rate at the ELB for an extended period? though not as extended under the optimal commitment policy?and meaningfully mitigate the adverse effects of the ELB constraint on economy activity.

"Startups and Upstarts"(Vijay Krishnaとの共著)
要旨
We study a continuous-time R&D race between an established firm and a startup under asymmetric information. R&D investment brings success stochastically but only if the innovation is feasible. The only asymmetry between the firms is that the established firm has better information about the feasibility of the innovation. We show that there is an equilibrium in which the poorly-informed startup wins more often, and has higher expected profits, than the better-informed incumbent. When the informational asymmetry is large, this is the unique equilibrium outcome. Even though better information is available competitive disadvantage, the value of information is positive.
